Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022179888A1] The invention relates to a device for treating biological tissue (19), comprising a light source (14) for sending a plurality of light pulses (15) to the tissue (19) within a treatment time period (31) in order to cause the tissue (19) to vibrate. The device comprises a vibration sensor (21), which senses the amplitude of a vibration (22) of the tissue (19) brought about by the light source (14). A control unit (16) calculates a relative value (30) by putting a current measurement value (27) of the amplitude in a ratio with an initial measurement value (26) of the amplitude. The control unit (16) processes the relative value (30) in order to generate a control signal for the light source (14).
